We put in for a hunt that was UNDERSUBSCRIBED last year, and we still didn't draw!

If I don't draw some long shot elsewhere I will try Colorado or Montana OTC. Never had to do that in 20 years though. I apply for a lot. Would be a good year for my high point totals to work for me somewhere unexpected.

Last time I failed on a few 50%+ odds hunts was in 2012, and as the last results rolled in, got hit with a 1% lucky strike in New Hampshire for moose! So I'll remain optimistic.

Ahhhhh finally the long awaited results for my ibex and sheep apps, and my wife's sheep app. I was sooooo excited (not!) to check the results this morning knowing I had virtually no chance to draw with the new non-resident allocations set after the applications were due. I hope NM enjoyed borrowing my $8000 along with millions from the other non-residents. That had to be the most unethical state drawing issue I have ever been involved in in 30 years of applying out of state.

Should have all capped "after"....I fixed it for you. I wonder how this will affect next years applications. As in.....how many will drop out of applying for NMs ibex and sheep apps.

My advice is to go to the new members section and introduce yourself. Where you're from, where you hunt ect....then hang around the forum and gather as much info as you can, while sharing any experience you can to help others. This is a great forum. And I see that you filled out your profile, that's great!! Welcome to Eastman's, great bunch of people here....you'll love it. Best of luck on your hunt!
